If you come across a toilet like this take a cup full of drywall repair powder and drop it into the bowl and leave it for about an hour. The whole toilet will need to be replaced. A 25lb bag of powder will run you like 20 bucks and can probably fuck up 100 toilets

I was gonna suggest curb-stomping the toilet till it breaks off the wall, but your idea is truly genius.

i was gonna (once again) suggest transglutaminase. its my glue of choice!

I'll start shitting in the urinal again if they try this.

[–] daddycool@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

WTF. Just sit in the sink like a normal person.

Put a thing between the front of the bowl and the seat to prop it up at a higher angle

[–] ook@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 9 months ago

For example a shitload of toilet paper. That way you are also costing the company extra for doing this.

So the evil version of a footstool? Squattypotty tried to sell theirs with an explanatory video by means of unicorns and ice cream a while ago.

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

I remember that, it was awesome

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 14 points 9 months ago

I will shit on the floor, don't test me bitch.

Is this real? Source? It's believable and that makes me upset

Edit: https://www.wired.com/story/battle-toilet-workplace/

From like 2019

[–] False@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, this is old news. I've still never seen one in person, so I don't think it's a real thing.

[–] tarknassus@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

This is why you never should skip leg day…

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 9 months ago

Never underestimate my desire to skive.

I'll end up with legs like an Olympic cyclist.

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Won't work in the US, A.D.A. compliance would shut it down. Can't expect someone disabled with leg weakness to be able to use that design.

IDK about UK disability law though, anyone there have comments on this?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Good news for the company, the ADA probably won't be around much longer

Bad news for literally anybody else

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

Go to work -> get leg workout while crapping. What's not to like?

[–] Laser@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago

Counter-productive, if I had gotten cramps at work (because of whatever, it doesn't matter), I'm just gonna use company time to get rid of these cramps. Hell I'm not even sure these designs are legal here. Surely there is some DIN based ISO norm regarding toilets and their dimensions

[–] pfr 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I actually don't think it'd be that uncomfortable. Not at that subtle angle..

It'd probably be better for blood flow and prevent getting a dead leg.
